I went through a multi-step hiring process for SmartSheet in April of 2021. Here is exactly what happened: - My application is submitted through Indeed - 21 days pass and then I am invited to a screening interview - 6 days pass until the scheduled interview time slot. ***The interview goes well - 10 days pass and I am invited to a second interview with the hiring manager - 6 days pass before the scheduled interview with the hiring manager ***This interview goes very well - 4 days later HR follows up to let me know I have qualified for the next step...A full interview with the team and project assessment. - 2 days later I receive a project prompt with details on this stage of the hiring process. This step included: - A multi-step project where I was given specific business scenarios to solve for - A 1 hour presentation of my project solutions to who would be my peers and management - Follow-up 1 on 1 meetings with other peers and stakeholders - A total time commitment of 5 hours, 1 hour presenting and 4 hours in 1 on 1 interviews. A whopping 49 days passed as I endured the SmartSheet hiring process. I had already received 2 job offers from other employers over the course of my engagement with SmartSheet, one of the offers was a highly competitive leadership role. I did want the position at SmartSheet, but at this stage I was exhausted by the process and a presentation project followed by a full day of interviews just sounded brutal...I was already dealing with a very dense interview schedule. I withdrew my candidacy and opted to go with a more decisive company. The company that hired me interviewed me two times over 3 days and then extended an offer.
